only maryland and michigan cracked the top 20

 

 

Ehh,  It's ESPN, what do you expect. 

 

I just got through listening to the B1G Women's Championship game on ESPN2 (Ohio State beat Maryland 79-69).  It was the worst presentation I think I've seen.  Video was good but the audio was terrible!!!!!   You could barely even hear the announcers over the crowd noise, and when you did it sounded like they were talking through mush.   And with all the enthusiasm of a wet noodle. 

The only time the announcer showed even a modicum of excitement was when the game was about over and he thought he was about to finish. Didn't get their names (Paul Sonderland and Christy Winters Scott), but Seriously I've heard Student U announcers do better jobs of announcing.  And this for a CHAMPIONSHIP game!!! 

 

But getting  back to the subject, I'm with @HUD ,  I am very enthused with our incoming class    If Coach Williams wants 'em; I want 'em!

“We are really excited about this entire group of high-achieving young women,” Nebraska Coach

Amy Williams said. “They not only have had strong careers so far, but they are all on track to have great

senior seasons. They have all shown an impressive commitment to our program during the recruiting

process. They are high-character individuals with incredible work ethics and competitive spirits. We are

looking forward to helping them achieve their goals on and off the court

[whoopdeedoo]

agree with assessment of Big Ten women's championship--------broadcast was horrible in many ways.
